Lymphatic Drainage Massage

 

Lymphatic drainage uses a flat hand technique with circular, wave-like movements along lymph nodes with juniper cypress detox oil.  These subtle manual movements help recirculate the lymphatic flow, activate fluid circulation and stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. Draining this fluid system detoxifies and regenerates tissues, filters out toxins and excess water, breaks down cellulite, maintains a healthy immune system and slows down the aging process.
